Issue No.7, July 2012

From the Principals Desk

Some children were given one sweet each. They were told, If you can wait for 20 minutes without

eating your sweet, you will receive one more. Then the teacher left. Some of the children could not

resist and ate their sweet immediately. A few others waited for two or three minutes and then ate. Only

a few still held their sweet without eating when the teacher returned after a while. These children had

felt it worthwhile to wait for the second sweet. In other words, they opted for delayed gratification. TheStanford University researchers then studied the progress of each participant child into adolescence.

They found that those children who waited patiently (to win the second sweet) were psychologically

better adjusted, more dependable persons, and, as high school students, scored significantly greater

grades in tests.

In life too, there will be several occasions when you get higher rewards if you are willing to forego the

immediate reward and wait. Those students who are willing to exert now by foregoing pleasures (like

spending time in cafes or movie theatres or on mobile phone) will later reap the rewards of a high

paying job. So, complete your studies and acquire an engineering degree without backlogs and get into

a job before you think of anything else. Those who give up studies before acquiring degree are guiltyof wasting scholarship money, which could have gone to a more deserving candidate.

In the summer vacation, some of our students browsed through the next semester books. Some helped

their parents in the family business. Some travelled. Some did part time summer jobs like book

keeping and data entry. Some took up tuitions for school children. What didyoudo?

With our reputation for disciplined and dependable service, our college was chosen as a venue for the

prestigious Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission for their Group II Examinations held on July

21 and 22, 2012. The exams were well planned and executed with perfection by our innovative and

committed staff members.

In this issue, we have lists of toppers in examinations and the Mantra for success. Photographs of our

annual day celebrations (March 22) and sports run follow. Then we present Tessy Thomas a woman of

accomplishment in Missile technology. News of developments in Science and Technology follow in

the regular feature From far and near.

Tragic loss

You must have seen on page 2 of this Newsletter that Ms. P Mounika III B.Tech CSE secured the

FIRST rank in II B.Tech II Semester Examinations. She also presented a paper onMobile computing

at Vignan Institute of Technology and Science. Fate has been cruel in that her father died in a horrific

accident on 16.05.2012. May his soul rest in peace. May God give her and family members thecourage, determination and strength to move ahead in life.

The silver lining in this tragedy is that the college enrolls all its students with the United India

Insurance Co Ltd. As a result, Ms. Mounika will receive Rs. 3 lakhs as compensation and Rs.25000 per

anum towards tuition fee part reimbursement.

A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.

Francis Bacon(1561-1626)

It is not enough that we do our best; sometimes we must do what is required.

Winston Churchill(1874-1965)

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they

gave up.

Thomas A. Edison(1847-1931)

From Far and Near

Achievement Hyderabadi!The drug calledTemozolomidereacts in tropical climate and this causes it to lose colour. It also loses

its medicinal activity. For patients, it is disturbing to see a dark tablet. Researchers at Hyderabad

Central University have now found that treating the solids containing the drug with acid enhances its

shelf life from 2 months to more than 6 months.

Higgs boson detected?

Just as there are electric field (associated with an electric charge) and magnetic field (associated with a

magnet), there is a Higgs field associated with Higgs Boson. Those particles which interact with the all

pervasive Higgs field have a mass. Examples are electrons, protons, neutrinos. Those particles which

do not interact with Higgs field do not have mass. Example is a photon. Massless entities travel at the

velocity of light. The presence of mass slows down the particles. When you are on snow, you will find

that skating is much faster than wading through it. The existence of the subatomic particle, the Higgs

boson was predicted in 1980. It was needed to explain the mass of any substance in the Standard model

of the universe. But the particle itself could not be found and named God Particle. Now atom

smashing scientists at CERN have announced that they created the Higgs Boson, though only for an

insignificant fraction of a second. Archana Sharma is the only Indian in the Higgs Team. However,

Know our Nuclear Missile Builder!

Tessy Thomas(born 1964) is the Project Director for the

Agni-Vin Defence Research and Development

Organisation, Hyderabad. She holds an M.Tech degree in

Guided Missiles from the Institute of Armament

Technology, Pune. She is the first woman scientist to head a

missile project in India. The missile has a range of 5000 km

and will serve as a weapon of peace (deterrent). It was

successfully tested in April 2012.

several scientists working in India are also involved. The name Boson has its origin from the name

Satyendranath Bose (1894-1974)

Transit, not eclipse!

When the moon comes in between the earth and the sun, it covers the sun and you see the solar eclipse.

When the Earth comes in between the Sun and the moon, the Earth casts its shadow on the moon and

you have lunar eclipse. On June 5, 2012, the planet Venus came between the Sun and the Earth. But

Venus is so far off from the earth that it could be seen just as a dark spot gliding across the Sun instead

of eclipsing it. This transit will not occur again till 2117. Venus is almost the same size as the Earth,

but the atomosphere on Venus is carbon dioxide with clouds of sulfuric acid. The temperature is 730

K, that is, hot enough to melt lead. The atmospheric pressure is 90 times that of the earth and

equivalent to the pressure at a depth of 3 km in the sea.

Psychokinesis!

15 years after being paralysed by a stroke, a 58 year old woman was able to reach for, pick up and take

a sip of a drink by using her thoughts to operate a robotic arm. The woman had depended on caregiversto do this for her. BrainGate, a multidisciplinary team of researchers has spent years developing these

human/robotic type systems. Part of the BrainGate system is implanted in the brain to capture the

neural signals that control intentional movement. It holds promise for people with brain injuries and

disorders.

A giant leap for womankind!

Women from the ultra conservative kingdom of Saudi Arabia will now be allowed for the first time to

participate in the London Olympics of 2012. Though it is an important step forward, milllions of Saudi

women continue to be banned from sports in schools, colleges and events. Women are denied access to

sports facilities, gymnasiums, and swimming pools and not allowed to ride or drive.
